Chapter 114

Stefan heard a mechanical voice in his ear: “Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service.

Not in service?!

Stefan tried to control his rage. Maybe Renee had changed her phone number, and she wasn’t trying to avoid him.

He clicked on Renee’s contact, opened up the messaging application, and sent her a question mark.

The message didn’t go through. Clearly, he had been blocked.

“Damn it!” Stefan cursed under his breath, his expression dark.

That woman had cut him off completely. She really was merciless!

They’d only been divorced for a week, but she’d already pried away H Group’s major clients, and was now spending her evenings in nightclubs with different men. Her life seemed to be full of fun and excitement, didn’t it?

Her ex–husband’s reputation was practically ruined!

Stefan massaged his temples and gritted his teeth in frustration. After pondering for a moment, he dialed Elijah’s number.

“I want information on all guests who checked into hotels in Beach City within thirty minutes, ” he said.

Elijah was confused. “Mr. Hunt, did something happen? Why do you suddenly want such information?

Are you… trying to catch your wife cheating?”

“Is that any of your business?” Stefan snarled over the phone.

“Absolutely not! I’ll retrieve the information for you right away!”

Elijah was very curious about the reasoning behind this. Despite being afraid, he continued to speak.

“Also, this is just my opinion, but… Mrs. Hunt may be playful, but I truly believe she wouldn’t go to a hotel with another man. Don’t worry!”

Stefan’s expression was thunderous. “Get lost!‘

Thirty minutes later, Elijah sent him a long message with the information he asked for. However, Renee’s name wasn’t on the list.

“Mr. Hunt, it’s just as I told you. Mrs. Hunt is a prim and proper lady, and she loves you so much. Why would she go to a hotel with another man? As for the photos of her being in nightclubs and surrounded by young, handsome men, my guess is that she’s only trying to make you angry!”

As an outsider, Elijah could analyze the situation objectively. However, he was also risking getting beaten up by speaking up for Renee. “After all, even the worm will turn when it has no choice. What you did was awful, and Mrs. Hunt is only expressing her dissatisfaction. It’s normal.”

Knowing how proud Stefan was, Elijah figured he would surely feel offended. He thought Stefan might send him to Zambawi to dig for oil or to the Parimean Ocean to fish, but to his surprise, Mr. Hunt remained unusually silent.

Finally, he spoke.“So, you think she’s doing these things because she likes me? Do you think she’s trying to get my attention?”

Elijah almost choked. He would never have expected Mr. Hunt to come to such a conclusion. “I guess you can think of it that way,” Elijah replied awkwardly.

Stefan’s cold expression gradually disappeared, and when he ended the call, he was even smiling a little.

In the morning.

Renee stretched her arms and patted Julian on the shoulder. She didn’t hold back her compliments.

“You actually managed to tie with me, kid. You’ve got potential! I want you to play with me again in the future.”

Renee was the best of the best when it came to gaming, and she could easily kill her opponents within seconds. There were very few whose skills rivaled hers, but surprisingly, this seemingly inexperienced kid was very good. He had surpassed her expectations.

Renee had to admit that she was very pleased with Leia’s ‘gift‘ this time!

“Mrs. Hunt, you’re pretty impressive too.” Julian looked at Renee curiously, a grudging admiration in his gaze.

He tore off a sticky note and wrote down a series of numbers on it before sticking it on her shoulder.

“This is my private number. Call me whenever you need me.”

“No problem!” Renee accepted heartily. “Ah, just one more thing – don’t call me Mrs. Hunt. It’s an unlucky name.”

Julian raised his eyebrows. “What should I call you then?”

“Call me Angel… No. Call me Rich Angel,” Renee answered seriously.

When Julian heard this, he couldn’t stop himself from chuckling. “Alright, Rich Angel.”

After saying goodbye to Julian, Rence happily returned to Sunup Residence, humming the entire way back.

Life after divorce was fun. She had so much freedom! If she’d known being divorced felt this good, she wouldn’t have stayed in a loveless marriage for four years like a fool.

Just as she sighed blissfully, the elevator stopped on her floor and the doors opened.

A tall, handsome man stood there, and it looked like he had been waiting there for a long time. A familiar voice greeted her coldly, “Finally decided to come back?”
